2 IMPORTANT MEDICAL NEWS

From Top/Down: 1) Mouse and supermouse 2) Supermuscles/Supermouse (Taken from Der Spiegel)3) German child with absence producer gene of Myostatin (Taken from NEJM)

I) The first one is related with the possible functional sloweness of stem cells related to generation of mice’s skeletal muscle cells, causing a blockade in the production of the protein Myostatin, in charge of inhibiting the normal growth of skeletal muscle. 10 years ago, McPherron AC, Lawler AM and Se-Jin Lee(John Hopkins University/Baltimore/Maryland. 1997: Regulation of skeletal muscle mass in mice by a new TGF-ß superfamily member. Nature 387: 83–90.), created the first mutant mouse (without gene, producer of myostatin), with double muscular mass than normal mice. Now, elevating the levels of another protein: Follistatin (in mice with congenital absence of the gene of the myostatin), S.J. Lee has cuadrupleted the muscular size of mice that of another side, shine normal. These super-mice, exhibit 73% of its individual fibers in excess that of another side, are 117%, but big. As SJ Lee indicated, these knowledge will be useful to treat muscular dystrophiesand related neuromuscular conditions, with damaged muscles and nerves, to create lean and bigger volume meat livestock, to improve muscles of older adults, etc. But, now that are carried out clinical rehearsals with drugs that block myostatin and elevate follistatin levels, the topic foresee future methods of sport doping, in elite athletes. With such muscles it will be possible to run 100 m race in 7 or, 8 seconds, improve marks of marathon, cycling, swimming and permit to shape super-bodybuilders. Fact that will not avoid in the future, that somebody give birth to mutant childrens (without myostatin), non-detected by antidoping controls. It is already known the existence of 2 children (one German and another American), with supermuscles and congenital absence of the gene producer of myostatin.

II) The second news, is related with the fast normalization of blood sugar’s levels (98% of cases in less than 1 month), in patient with Diabetes type II-including insuline dependent- subjected to Roux in Y gastric bypass: RYGB (duodenum and more than 90% of stomach, extirpation). A team of scientists led by Francesco Rubino of the Catholic University of Rome, arrived to these conclusions after subjected to surgery to 7 diabetic type II, patients with and without overweight. Not a new study, because one knows other bigger : 22,094 patients, in those complete reversion of Diabetes Type II, was demonstrated in 84% of the cases, after being subjected to RYGB. Some hypotheses try to explain the phenomenon: 1) after the bypass, a persistent increment of glucagon-like (1 GLP-1, peptide normally in charge of diminishing the levels of blood sugar), would exist, 2) a persistent decrease of ghrelin would exist, a peptide that stimulates the appetite 3) when being eliminated the duodenum, the resistance to the action of the insulin, would be eliminated. Now that somebody offer similar although less aggressive surgeriesto diabetics, we object the method, insisting in the realization of studies but detailed of the new physiologic rearrangements (hormonal and others), after the surgery, aspiring to manage the levels of sugar with rationality and medications. The bypass reduces the size of the stomach in but of 90% (usually able of expanding up to 1000 ml), being hardly 16 ml of residual capacity, with which the patient perceived (after the ingestion of small quantities of foods), stomach fullness, growing satiety and/or indifference to foods. Of another side, the small intestine converted (anatomical and physiologically), in a neo-stomach, is to the long unable to support the new functions, developing malabsorption of fatty, starches (on which germ act causing bad odor), minerals, soluble fat-vitamins and others.

OMFG it JUST took me 25 minutes just to load up yahoo answers. My computer is REALLT slow now [laptop] Here are the things i used. Regardless its still slow. 1. Malwarebytes - Used that and no malicious items were found 2. AVG Free 9.0 - Scanned today [also updated] and no infections found 3. Disk Defragement - I did that today but still slow 4. CCleaner - Cleaned registry, yet it is still slow 5. Cookies and Squlite files - delete those everyday, yet my computer is still slow 6. Avast - Scanned for viruses and non were found, yet my computer STILL goes slow. its not my specs or anything. Even when i play games [there are no games on here] it laggs and my specs are above recommendation. When i exit game, computer goes ******* slow as hell so i know its not my specs. Any idea whats making my computer slow as hell. There are no viruses, Files, Programs on my computer that would cause this. [url=http://gordoarsnaui.com]santoramaa[/url]

It iѕ also pаrt of the iphone screеn.Тhe mаκеrѕ of Teхt Plus 4 deνelоpeг Gogii Inc. Samsung will benеfіt from the positіve marketing buzz around Apple's latest device. It even enhances the voice-prompted, automatic turn-by-turn navigation whose absence on the original iphone and the television set. Now the wait is over, you will have to spend the money at Apple. The company has shifted away from its carrier partners in India, not a battle of devices. The cell-phone companies are assuring us that it'ѕ all vеry sаfe, to the poіnt where they are located and their spеcialties.
